Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Dec. 17, 1918.

Application filed March 11, 1918. Serial No. 221,688.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JULIO PINAL, a citizen of Mexico, residing at Brooklyn, in the county of Kings and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Generators, of which the following is afull, clear, and exact description, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it 'appertains to make and use the same.

This invention relates to methods and apparatus for generating heat, and with respect to itsmore specific features, to methods and apparatus of the character referred to providing for the combustion of a liquid fuel and the utilization of the heat of combustion for gasifying the fuel and giving pressure to the resultant gas. V

One of the objects of the invention is the provision of an eflicient method for generating heat and utilizing the possibly otherwise waste heat by causing it to assist in the gasification of the fuel.

Another object of the inventionis the provision of a practical method of the character referred to and involving the giving of pressure to the gas and thefiame resulting from its ignition.

. Another object of the invention isthe provision of a simple and efficient apparatus for gasifying liquid fuel andconserving the heat energy resulting from the combustion ofthegas Another object of the invention is the provision of a practical apparatus for generating heat from liquid fuel and for the control of the feed of fuel to modify the character of the heat. 1

Another objectof the invention is the provision of a. simple and'inexpensive apparatus for thegasification of liquid'fuel and the combustion ofthe resultant gas so arrangedthat theheat of combustion may be utilized in gasifying the liquid fuel,-and so that the apparatus may be readily taken apart, assembled and applied Where desired.

, Other objects'will be in part obvious and in part pointed out hereinafter. I

The invention accordingly consists in the several steps and the relation and order of h one or more of such-steps with relation to each of the others thereof, and'inthe features of construction,combinations of elements and arrangement of parts, which will be exemplified in the process hereinafter disclosed and the constructionv hereinafter letter 6. and at course through the generator. 3 indicates a hollow metallic body or outer and outer passageways.

to is in communication set forth, and the scope of the application of each of which will be indicated in the following claim.

In the accompanying drawings forming part of this specification,

wherein is shown one of various possible embodiments of this invention,

Figure 1 is a perspective view of an apparatus embodying the invention; and Fig. 2;is a longitudinal sectional view of a portion of the apparatus, with the head of the generator slightly spaced from the rest of the casing.

Referring now more specifically to the drawings, the letter a'indicates generally a generator, through which liquid fuel is adapted to pass, and in' its passage becomes gasified or vaporized; a source of liquid fuel supply'for the generator is indicated by the c is shown a fuel burner so disposed that the burning of the fuel thereat heats the generator. I

" The numeral 1 indicates a pipe adapted to conduct liquid fuel from the source of liquid fuel supply or container 6 to the generator,

and the numeral 2 indicates apipe adapted to conduct the gasified or vaporized fuel fromthe generator to the burner. or burners c.

vIn the present embodiment the generator comprises a casing having passageways adapted to conduct the fuel ina circuitous The numeral metallic tube preferably permanently closed at one end, as having a flaring inner wall-surface 5. and an outwardly extending flange 6, provided with bolt openings. The numeral? indicates a member removably mounted in the body and at 4, and at its opposite end idividing the same longitudinally into inner In the present embodiment this member .COIDPI'ISES an inner ,metallic partition or tube having ahelical groove 8 onxits outer face. the exterior face of the member 7 being the inner'wallxof the tube 3 so that the helical groove of the member? cooperates with the inner wall of the member 3 to form a elical outer passageway, as illustrated, surdesigned to nicely fit rounding the said inner passageway or main passageway 9 of the inner metallic tube. One end of the helical passageway referred with the passageway 9, this communication being effected, in the present embodiment, by spacing theend 401 5 cific features of the could be made without departing from the scope thereof, it is intended that all matter contained in the above description or shown in the accompanying drawings shall be interpreted as illustrative and not in a limiting sense.

It is also to be understood that the language used in the following claim is intended to cover-all of the generic and speinvention herein described and all statements of the scope of the invention, which, as a matter of language, might be said to fall therebetween.

Having described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:

A generator of the character described, comprising, in combination, an outer metallic tube, an inner metallic tube having a helical groove in its outer surface cooperating with the outer tube to form a helical Copies of this patent may be obtained for five cents each, by addressing the passageway around the opening of the inner tube, said outer tube being closed at one end, and at this end spaced from the adjacent end of the inner tube, and at its opposite end having a flaring inner wall surface, said inner tube having a transverse head disposed across the other end of said outer tube and bolted to the latter tube, and having an opening communicating with the opening through the inner tube and another opening communicating with said helical passageway, said head having a tapered wall cooperating with said flaring surface to form an air-tight joint.

In testimony whereof I aifiX my signature, in the presence of two witnesses.
